Tarpon Springs is on the Florida Gulf Coast, famous for Greek bakeries and sponge diving and this style of Greek salad. My favorite version is from Athenian Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida. The potato salad is just right. It’s a subtle thing - at first you think it’s bland, but then you can’t get enough of it; I think it's the red wine vinegar that the warm potatoes are tossed in. The Greek salad has everything - salty feta and olives, sweet shrimp, vinegary pickled beets, crunchy sharp peppers. I like to make this salad for summertime entertaining. It's nice served alongside grilled steaks. <br /> <br />
